From waste to wow—whey is having a moment. ⭐️ Once a byproduct with no value, whey protein is now driving profits for cheesemakers and shaping the future of dairy. With rising demand from fitness trends, high-protein diets and the surge of GLP-1 users, this “liquid gold” is transforming how the dairy industry feeds and fuels consumers. 🧬 In the early 2000s, whey made up <7% of a farmer’s milk check. Today? It’s often 10% or more. 📈 U.S. production of high-protein whey powder hit 48 million pounds in May—the highest on record. 🥄 For some cheesemakers, whey now outpaces cheese in profitability. This kind of performance reminds us just how agile and valuable dairy is. It’s not just about milk—it’s about meeting evolving consumer needs, capturing emerging markets and building economic resilience on the farm and beyond. Hats off to the farmers, processors and innovators turning opportunity into action. 👏 🔗 Read more at https://ow.ly/VkMS50Wu1qJ #WheyProtein #DairyInnovation #CheeseAndWhey #DairyDelivers #WeKnowDairy #DairyForward (fb)
